PRINTERS GALL'EY.

Application led December 19, 1927. Serial No. 240,950.

My invention relates to a printers galley or chase and has for one purpose to provide such a galley wherein slugs, and particularly address slugs, may be positioned and spaced. Other object-s will appear from time to time in the course of the specification and claims.

the upwardly turned flanges B, B. B1, B1 indicate terminal ianges at the end'of the trough. Both members B, and a portion of the member A adjacent thereto', are penetrated vby a Vplurality of parallel slots C.

' The metal between each such bar is upset or pushed inwardly as at C1, to form a plurality of spacing stops, it being understood that the stops at opposite sides of the body member are identically spaced and aligned.

In the use of my device slugs, such as D,

y which may include one or more lines, are

dropped into the space between the stop members C. The Vslugs rest onl the bottom of the device and are held against lateral movement by the sides and are held against' longitudinal movement by the stops.

The vresult is a peculiarly simple, eii'icient and cheaply and easily manufactured unit whereby a large number of addresses, for example, may be positioned for usewith a press. moved and changes of arrangement can be quickly and easily made. y 1

It will be realized that whereas I have described and shown a practical and operative device, nevertheless many changes might be made in the size, shape, number and disposition of parts without departing from the spirit of my invention. I therefore wish my description and drawings to be taken as in a broad sense illustrative and diagrammatic rather than as limiting me to my specific showing.

I claim:

.1. As a new article of manufacture, a Y

Theslugs are easily inserted and re-V printers galley vcomprising a sheet metal' trough having a flat bottom, and sides upwardly extending therefromV at' right angles thereto, and spacing` members upset from and inwardly -projecting fromV saidl sides.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a printers galley comprising a sheet metal trough having a flat bottom, and sides up-V wardly extending therefrom, and vspacingV members upset from 'and inwardlyproject-y ing fromsaid sides. v 3. As a new article of manufacture, 'a

'printers galley comprising av sheet metal trough having a flat bottom, and .sides upwardly extending therefrom Y and spacing members upset from and inwardly projecting from the sides and the adj acentportions f of the bottom.

4. As a new article of manufacture, a

'pi-inters galleyV comprising a sheet metal trough having' a Hat bottom portion, sides upwardly projecting therefrom, vsaid sides beingfpenetrated by a plu-rality of parallel' slots, the alternate tongues of metalbetween such slots being Vinwardly upset. A

5. As a new article of` manufacture a printers galley comprisiiiga sheet vmetal body Jortion and a plurality of upwardly exten ing spacing members positioned along the opposite edges thereof,V said spacing members being adapted to receive and space printingA slugs.

6. As ar new article of manufact-ure, a

printers galley comprising a sheet metal body portion and a plurality of upwardly extending spacing members positioned along the opposite edges thereof, said spacing members being adapted to receive and space printing slugs, said spacing members integral with the body portion.

f7, As a new article of manufacture,fa printers galley comprising a trough having a bottom portion adapted to supportthe slugs used therewith and having side portions upwardly projecting from said body beingA portion, adapted to engage theends of said slugs, anda plurality of spacing stops in-v wardly projecting from saidr side members.'
